- ihattendorf 7y agoYep, it's unusable for me at work on my scaled display. It isn't just power consumption, scrolling is noticeably slower. I've been checking in on this issue every release, looks like I'll finally be able to go back to Firefox after 70 is released.
- GeekyBear 7y agoUntil the big changes land, you can have Firefox opt out of window scaling. Get info on the Firefox app and then check ”Open in Low Resolution” on the get info panel, then restart the app. You can pick up more energy savings by telling Firefox to stop using transparency. Go to about:config, and set gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque to true.
